Chapter 397: Chapter 404: Huge Benefits

“Okay, since I’m here, I will naturally take a look inside and also see the fruits of my wife’s efforts after so many days. However, I believe in my wife’s ability, and since she has put in so much effort, she must have done a good job,” Han Yu praised with a smile, lacking any principles. But his attitude was based on indulgence and care for his wife, so he wanted to encourage her more. No matter the outcome, the fact that his wife had worked hard for so many days meant she had been really dedicated, and he couldn’t knock her confidence. Besides, with Fu Lu supporting her, there shouldn’t be any issues.
Su Wenyue was delighted by Han Yu’s sweet talk; the man was getting better at speaking. Even though it wasn’t exactly honeyed words, it was still more gratifying to her: “Do you trust me that much?”
“Of course, you’re my wife, who else would I trust if not you?” Han Yu was getting to know his wife’s quirks better and petted her along the grain.
Han Yu had just wanted to make his wife happy by walking into the shop, but he was genuinely surprised and amazed to see its decor. The style of the shop was unlike anything he’d ever seen before, appearing to incorporate elements of the outer domain while blending with the customs of the Daming Dynasty. It was refreshingly eye-catching yet did not feel jarring or uncomfortable. Furthermore, some items had already been displayed in the shop.
He casually picked up an exquisite wooden box from the shelf, engraved with characters from the outer domain. Inside lay a piece of delicate, petite toilet soap, pale purple and also engraved with foreign script and patterns. Han Yu raised his eyebrows.
“Wife, are these products from the outer domain?” Han Yu thought they looked like imported goods; the Daming Dynasty also had toilet soap, but not as pretty or delicate, and the foreign script engraved on it was something he had seen but didn’t understand. Moreover, the milky paint color on the box wasn’t customarily used here. Several other cabinets contained similar items, all with foreign script on the outer packaging.
Su Wenyue had never had contact with outer domain merchants, something Han Yu knew well since his wife was always under his watchful eye. Moreover, the world outside was unsafe in these turbulent times, and Han Yu had allocated many people to protect Su Wenyue. If she had made contact with someone, it wouldn’t be a secret. However, Han Yu wasn’t surprised at how Su Wenyue got these items, as his father-in-law and eldest brother-in-law were crafty businessmen with vast contacts, so it wouldn’t be difficult for them to procure such goods. Wasn’t the food from the outer domain in their home also provided by his brother-in-law?
“What do you think?” Su Wenyue playfully blinked but did not give Han Yu a definite answer, which made him feel surprised. Perhaps these outer domain goods weren’t sourced by his brother-in-law; otherwise, his wife wouldn’t have reacted this way, and he felt a bit puzzled.
“Could it be that these products from the outer domain weren’t acquired by Father-in-law and Eldest Brother-in-law?” Han Yu couldn’t guess the truth. It couldn’t be that they were made themselves, even though he knew his wife had been up to quite a lot recently. He hadn’t asked for details, but all these items were from the outer domain.
